In this case, using a table is justified. There is a relationship between the English paragraph and it's French translation, therefore putting them in a table row is semantically correct. On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 8:33 PM, Chris F.A. Johnson ch...@cfajohnson.comwrote: On Mon, 1 Feb 2010,

I hope that someone will have a suggestion for me. Brace yourself... I actually think that this could be argued to be a legitimate use of tables to display tabular data. It's certainly not tabular data in the tradition spreadsheet sense, but it is data that corresponds to other data arranged

Did you try adding a margin to the image? Which would create distance between it and any elements around it. On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 1:26 PM, Carol Swinehart c...@ckfswebservices.com wrote: http://www.habitatfairfield.org/test/index2.php  page address left image near bottom in order to get

There's always the Acid 2 test. It looks the same in all the major browsers now, but in IE6 and 7 it's a pretty stellar disaster. The other thing to check is if MS makes the Compatibility View list public. If it does, that would give you a list of sites that look good in IE7 that don't look

This may be a crazy suggestion, but in my mind a definition list (dl, dt, dd) wouldn't be out of the question You'd either have to avoid paragraph tags, etc, or damn the standards. I had the same thought, but decided not to damn the standards. So I suggested the paragraph solution instead.
